We're still unclear on exactly what Soma is about, but a detailed post accompanying the video on Frictional Games' website details how important story is to every facet of the game. We do know it will follow a science-fiction plot taking place in space, and early indications point to it being scary.

For more on the game, you can check a pair of live-action videos setting up the story here and here.

Looks pretty cool. I don't get the scary vibe, but I think that's more of an atmosphere thing. As far as I know, there's nothing to fear, so it's just a run-down area. You tell me there's something coming after me, and hell yeah it's scary looking.
